The role of orthobiologics in chronic wound healing.

Chronic wounds, characterized by prolonged healing processes, pose a significant medical challenge with multifaceted aetiologies, including local and systemic factors. Here, it explores the complex pathogenesis of chronic wounds, emphasizing the disruption in the normal phases of wound healing, particularly the inflammatory phase, leading to an imbalance in extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics and persistent inflammation. Senescent cell populations further contribute to impaired wound healing in chronic lesions.

Trigger Finger or De Quervain Tenosynovitis after Surgical Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

 To evaluate the open surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome as a risk factor for the development of stenosing tenosynovitis that results in trigger finger and De Quervain disease.  A retrospective study analyzing the medical records of patients submitted to open surgical release of carpal tunnel syndrome between 2010 and 2021 in a secondary- and tertiary-level hospital. The following data were collected: pathological history, duration of the follow-up after the surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, development of trigger finger or De Quervain tenosynovitis, affected fingers, and the interval between the end of surgery and symptom onset.
